re: Bi-annual Olympics in New Orleans thread

I remember most Games being held in July. Hurricane season wouldn't be a problem, but the weather would be terrible. I think for a Southern host, Dallas would be the most likely. NYC could be another candidate for a US city.
I suspect with the new Olympic sponsorship agreement between the USOC and the IOC, we will get a Summer and Winter games in quick succession. I'm hoping for Denver 2026 and Dallas/NYC 2028 or 2032. I was hoping we would bid for 2022, as the bidders for those Games are so fricking weak. Probably the weakest it's ever been.

Last three Summer Olympiads were completely or partially in August, although Sydney stretched into October. Rio and Tokyo will be in the same time range as the last three Summer Olympiads.
Anchorage actually placed 3rd for the 1994 Winter Olympics (the Kerrigan-Harding Games) and is bidding for 2026. I can see either them or Boston being real contenders for those games. You don't need the same infrastructure for a Winter Olympiad as you do for a Summer, so Anchorage has a shot.
